Hi all, having a bit a dilemma at the moment.
Wife's car is a Honda City 2018 and still under their 5 year warranty. Wife took the car for a recall and a service at a same time at a Honda dealership. The car always had stuttering intermittently, but after we got the car back, the stutter got progressively worse.
Fast forward a few months, now I can reproduce the stuttering whenever I step lightly on the accelerator. Took the car back to the dealership. The dealership says they can't find anything wrong with the car, they said they checked everything, spark plugs, etc. etc., they pointed to the fuel, etc, but pretty much a suck it and see situation. I still feel the stuttering is not right, I would like to take it to my local mechanic to have a look at, as a second opinion.
I am not suspecting the recall caused the stuttering, I just want the stuttering to be fixed. Do you think the stuttering is a warranty issue or should I just get it fixed at my local mechanic? What do you think I should do?
My local dealer/service centre are a bunch of con artists but at least last time I reported an issue they offered to make time for service manager or senior tech to ride along and see if the fault I reported could be narrowed down. Conveniently, problem is not shown up again in months…
